Childminding Assistant Education Management ### "Out of date " 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 October 4, 2023 I find this app to be out of date and have had greater success, both from a professional point of view and a parent, using other paid-for apps. Pros Tapestry is a good platform to manage the progress and development of a group of children And to keep parents up-to-date on daily activity Cons The EYFS has not been updated to the new version. Also the functionality is hugely limited when using the app instead of the desktop version. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 9, 2023 We're sorry to hear you found Tapestry to be outdated. We added the new EYFS to Tapestry at the end of 2020 through our 'Flags' system. If you are interested you can find more information about this here: https://tapestry.info/features/eyfs-2021.html. The app was originally designed to be a pared-down version of Tapestry, to make uploading observations as quick and easy as possible. However, we do understand our customers would like to be able to access all features within the app so we have been working on adding more functionality to the apps. So far we have added the ability to view Memos, Reflections and Activities on both apps. We have also added the Care Diary and Online Register features to the Android app and we are hoping to soon release an update to the iOS which will include both of these features. JL Jasmine L.

Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor June 16, 2023 Thank you for taking the time to review Tapestry, we're glad to hear you found it easy to use. In terms of our pricing, we do try and keep the cost of Tapestry as low as possible. Tapestry was created by Early Years professionals for other Early Years professionals, so we are intimately aware of how tight budgets are. That is why everything is included in the cost of Tapestry, there are no extra charges for specific features and we set no limits on the number of staff, relatives and data that people can add.
